Hello everyone,
This is a one shot which starts after Pakhi expresses her feelings about raising the child.
Drama. Drama. This is what my life has been since I have married Virat. Life was simple in Gadchiroli. Alas, this was written in my destiny and nobody could save. Standing here in our hall, am just waiting with bated breath about Virat's decision. He said he decided something and called everyone here. I don't want to be here, i just want to sit and watch my baby sleeping happily.
" Am going to announce something important" said virat catching everyone's attention.
I could not help but notice the seating arrangement. Kaku, Omi kaka, sonali kaku, karishma, pakhi didi seated one side. Me, aai, baba, mohit bhaiyya seated right side. Mansi bua is sitting bit away as if she does not want to be part of this conversation. But after her request, i don't know what she thinks anymore.
" We have decided to let Pakhi raise the child" said virat with an apologetic look towards me
Everybody is stunned. Well, majority of them wanted this but still, they did not expect this soon. Aai mohit are looking at me with concern while Pakhi didi moved towards Virat with a smile she could not hide or no longer wants to hide.
In all this chaos, my entire life has been flashed infront me. There is nothing to lose anymore. This is it. Am stripped off my rights earlier as well but this, this is nothing but a murder to my motherhood.
Virat is still looking at me with that sorry face, like everytime. I averted my gaze and quickly looked at everyone's face to see if someone could speak up and all I could see is sympathy or happiness.
I can survive through this, i will. Unknown determination passed through my veins. I am going to do it. Keeping everything aside, i smiled at everyone. As usual nobody noticed the hidden sadness. Everyone looked happy for Pakhi didi. She ran upstairs to get my kid for herself.
Virat looks relieved now. I have moved to my room just to see Pakhi didi taking away my child with a smirk on her face. It did not bother me now. I just stepped away giving her the space and walked to my cupboard.
"Sai, am so sorry to announce like that, Pakhi is not well and she carried the child for 9 months, I felt it was right to give her the child." Said Virat with a sorry face.
I just nodddd my head and assured him that it is perfectly fine with me. I know what i have to do and i need to be quick.
21 days after.
Cradle ceremony. Everyone is happy. Afterall, chavan khandhan's chiraag's cradle ceremony. The guest list is huge with every prominent personality in the city. Everyone is ready, so am I. Today would be the last day for all this.
To be continued
